007 things we spotted in the full length Spectre trailer

Nostalgia again plays a part in the 24th James Bond film, due for release in October

With just over three months to its release, we've finally got a full trailer for James Bond's 24th outing, Spectre. After a number of teaser trailers (and a teaser trailer teaser), we finally get to see some proper Bond action. In keeping with 2012's Skyfall trailer, this one skilfully avoids too many plot or action spoilers. So what can we discern from the carnage?

1. The trailer opens on Mexico's Day of the Dead festivities, a nod to the Junkanoo scene from Thunderball.

2. From Mallory's (Ralph Fiennes) voiceover, Bond appears to go rogue and embark on an assassination attempt, redolent of a similar situation in Licence to Kill.

3. As well as Fiennes' M, Bond is once again accompanied by Ben Wishaw's Q and Naomi Harris' Miss Moneypenny.

4. Monica Bellucci plays a love interest. And while she doesn't exactly break the Bond girl mould, at 50 she's the oldest Bond girl to date and nearly four years Craig's senior.

7. The iconic theme to On Her Majesty's Secret Service makes a comeback towards the end of the trailer. It's a slower version of the jazzy original, itself notable for being the only instrumental Bond theme (as composer John Barry understandably struggled to incorporate the sesquipedalian title into lyrics).

James Bond (Craig) comes up against a global crime syndicate, while back at home, the 00 programme is under threat from reckless moderniser C (Scott). With its swagger, dry humour and frequent, well-executed action it's a solid crowdpleaser, but the story is predictable, the characterisation is thin and overall it lacks…
